InstallerRestService.aspx/InstallOrUpgrade - 500 Internal Server Error

Installing umbraco

I'm upgrading a 6.1.5 site to 6.2.1.

When the database is about to update it stops at "Connecting to database" (5%).

In network traffic there is a call to:

http://website/install/InstallerRestService.aspx/InstallOrUpgrade

which fails with a 500 Internal Server Error.

The log file says:

2014-06-04 15:28:16,228 [25] ERROR Umbraco.Core.UmbracoApplicationBase - [Thread 20] An unhandled exception occurred
System.ArgumentException: Unknown web method InstallOrUpgrade.
Parameter name: methodName
   at System.Web.Script.Services.WebServiceData.GetMethodData(String methodName)
   at System.Web.Handlers.ScriptModule.OnPostAcquireRequestState(Object sender, EventArgs eventArgs)
   at System.Web.HttpApplication.SyncEventExecutionStep.System.Web.HttpApplication.IExecutionStep.Execute()
   at System.Web.HttpApplication.ExecuteStep(IExecutionStep step, Boolean& completedSynchronously)

The /install folder is present and I've granted everyone full access to the files.

Any ideas what might be wrong?

Is there any database changes at all in this minor upgrade? Could I just skip the DB upgrade (and how)?

All the files in the Install folder are present?

If so, could you send me a link to a zip of db + site (promise to keep everything I see confidential). I've wanted to fix this error for a while now but it's hard to reproduce. sebastiaan @ umbraco . com

Thanks!

Thanks for looking into this!

Guys,

I am having exact same issue i have files in the install directory. Is it possible to run the upgrade db scripts manually?

Regards

Right just fixed with a little help from Hendy. I downloaded http://our.umbraco.org/contribute/releases/622 and copied the bin and install directories to mine then re run the upgrade and it worked.

Regards

Same issue for me going from 6.1.6 to 6.2.3. The project files were in visual studio (2012) so I updated using nuget, however no changes where made to the install folder (ie detected by source control), so following Ismails method I downloaded the 6.2.3 zip and compared the install folders and sure enough they were different, so i copied over the install folder and re ran the upgrade sucessfully.
